Remote hypofluorescent dots in recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis on indocyanine green angiography

Abstract

Purpose: To report the findings of indocyanine green angiography performed in patients with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis. Methods: Institutional prospective analysis of 23 eyes from 23 immunocompetent patients with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis aged between 17 and 41 years. These patients underwent a complete ocular examination including indocyanine green angiography. Results: Multiple hypoflourescent spots distant from the recurrent active lesion of retinochoroidal toxoplasmosis were found in 26.08% of the patients. We also found multiple hypofluorescent satellite dots in 69.56% of the patients: Conclusion: These remote dots seen suggest either a more widespread choroidal involvement in this disease and this can represent simply remote collections of inflammatory cells or subclinical infection.
